Hi everyone!
I received a happy mail from Papertrey Ink last Sunday and just wanted to play with some new stamp sets I purchased. I really love Daydreamer and Gracious Vases!! So, first of all, I had to ink them up!

For this card, I used Daydreamer set, and the sketch was from CPS 224.

Next one was used Gracious Vases set. I don’t know about you, but this set makes me feel Asian (especially East Asian) air. Maybe that is the reason I love this set.

Hello everyone!
The card I’m sharing with you today was made for Sketchbook Saturday Challenge #17.
I used Bee Happy and In Stitches (TSG) for this card. Can you see tiny white spots on those bee’s cheeks? I saw Iwona, who provided this awesome sketch, added white spots to a little girl’s cheek on her card. It was so pretty and I knew I have to try it. (I used a white gel pen.) I’m so happy that they look so cheery, and I’ll use this technique on my creations from now on!

Happy Monday everyone~! Hope you all had a great weekend.
I have two cards to share with you today. Both of them were used new digital stamps I listed on my Etsy shop last week.

Awile back ago, a funny robot was dancing in my head all day long… I thought it was time to draw some robot illustrations. lol! I needed a BD card for a boy, so I had my little robot held a balloon.
I drew one more robot, which was lovelier than the first one.

Isn’t the heart-shaped antenna cute?? And I really like his shy look! I think this image works well with a card sending your love to someone.

Hi everyone! I just popped in to share a card I made for CAS-ual Fridays Challenge #7 (CFC7) and FTL 145.
When I saw this weeks CAS-ual Fridays Challenge, which is Color Blocking, I thought FTL 145 sketch is the perfect for the theme. :) I think many CAS card makers have combined these two challenges. lol!
Thank you for stopping by. I’ll be back about an hour later with my sample cards for TSG sneak peek. See you soon~!

Welcome to Day 2 of TSG Blog Hop Challenges! Hopefully, you should have come here from Tobi's beautiful blog. If you want to start your hop from the beginning, please head over to the TSG blog.

We are showing two mini stamp sets today. The first set is Vroom, which was illustrated by Melyssa!

Vroom is a 3x4 set that includes a total of 6 stamps and will sell for $7.
This adorable set is great to make a fun, every day card for family and friends! The larger car featured in this mini set was sized so that it could also be used with Leah (who can be seen in the Freeze The Moment stamp set).

Next one is called Hibiscus, yes, it was illustrated by me!:)

Hibiscus is a 3x4 set that includes a total of 7 stamps and will sell for $7.

I hope it will become a favorite from your summer stamping collection! Use them to create beautiful custom designer paper, color in the line art images to use as a focal point for your project or pair them with a TSG sentiment stamp set for a card that can be given for any occasion.

For my card, I used line art images. I colored them with Copic Markers as usual, and then cut them out. For the background paper, I sponged some blue inks, added random stitches and distressed the edges slightly. The beautiful sentiment was from Flowers Of Happiness set.

Would you like a chance to win the Vroom / Hibiscus stamp sets? Here’s what you need to do- go to each of the Trendsetter’s Blogs and leave a comment on their Vroom / Hibiscus Blog Hop Challenge post. After you have finished checking out the eye candy and have left some love, return to the TSG Blog and add your name to the Mr. Linky at the bottom of this Blog Hop Challenge post. A winner will be chosen randomly using a random number generator to receive their very own Vroom / Hibiscus stamp sets. The winner will be announced Saturday (June 25th) during the Release Party Chat.

Here is the end of today's hop. Thank you so much for playing with us today. Tomorrw is Day 3 of this month's sneak peeks and we are going to show you another stamp set I illustrated. So I hope you'll join us again!

Happy Monday everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Mine was so busy that I couldn't even touch my computer:( So I have to catch up with what happened in blog land during this weekend asap!

I wanted to share a CAS card using a new digital stamp, Swirly Flowers & Bird, that I added to my Etsy shop today.

This illustration was drawn in thin and delicate line. So, I thought that soft and light colors would work well with it. The polka dot stamp I used for background was from Hero Arts, and the sentiment was from PTI.

I hope you like my new digi!:)

Now, I'm off to work on my sample cards for TSG release! This month's sneak peeks will start tomorrow, and I'm going to participate in Day 2 and Day 3. Make sure to check the TSG blog tomorrow so that you won't miss a chance to win a new stamp set!!

Hello everyone! I have a yummy CAS card to share today.;)

こんにちは！今日は、おいしそうなCASカードを。(^^)

For this card, I used one of the newest stamp sets from TSG, Freeze The Moment. I LOVE this image, it is sooooo CUTE and looks so yummy! :) I thought these cute ice creams should be colored in pastel colors. But I couldn't help slipping in a chocolate one, because it is my most favorite flavor of ice cream!!

The sentiment was stamped with Versa Mark ink and heat embossed with white EP.

Happy Monday everyone! I just popped in to share a 10 minutes card that I made last Saturday night.

こんにちは。今日は、土曜日の夜に作った簡単カードをご紹介します。

When I saw THIS cute card by Jessie, I remembered that I had neglected Polka Dot Pals set, which was the first set I designed for TSG, for a long time. I thought I had to care my poor polka dot animals, therefore this card was done. (lol!)

CPS 221

﻿

I made this card for the CPS 221 sketch challenge. The beautiful flower image was from Dream A New Dream set (TSG) which was illustrated by Chris Dark. The wonderful part of the images in this set is that they are very easy to color. We do not need to worry about our skills of shading! Yum! (lol)

このカードは、CPS 221のチャレンジで作りました。この素敵な花のイメージは、Chrisさんがイラストを描かれたDream A New Dreamセット（TSG）のものです。このセットのイメージの素敵なところは、色付けがとっても簡単なこと。陰影付けのスキルについて心配しなくても大丈夫ですから！はははっ。

Have you seen THIS post?? When the TSG Facebook page hits 600 'Likes', Jessica will give a FUN contest where you can win some TSG goodies!!! If you have not 'liked' the page yet, head over there, 'like' it and spread your words to your Facebook friends!

As it is a good season for wedding celebrations, so many challenge blogs are challenging us to create a wedding themed project. Unfortunately, I didn't have a wedding themed stamp set. So I decided to make some digital stamps featuring a wedding!;)
I completed 3 new digis and they have been already listed on my Etsy shop. Here are my sample cards.

Hi everyone!
My son joined a baseball club at his junior high school in April, and that has made my daily life pretty busy... Recently, it is getting hard to get time for crafting and blogging everyday :(
Today, I'd like to share a card that I managed to make a couple of days ago.

For this card, I got an inspiration for the layout from the sketch over at this weeks Cas-ual Fridays Challenge (CFC 5). As soon as I saw a semicircular part of the sketch, I thought of a planet surface image from Out Of This World set (TSG)! As I changed the sketch into vertical one, my card turned out very different from the original sketch. But I'm very happy with this card and I hope it would be acceptable for the challenge.

Hello everyone!
As the rainy season has set in, it has been rainy or cloudy days for about a week... I hate this season, because everything is damp and it makes me feel gloomy.:( My creative mojo is down, so I have a quick card today.

For this card, I used FTL 142 sketch. (I rotated it 90 degree.) And I'm entering this card to this weeks Ribbon Carousel Challenge (RCC 5 -- Anything goes, as far as our creations include some type of ribbon, twine, lace... how easy!! lol.)
